The Notable Films of 2010: Part Six
8 hours ago | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: July 2nd 2010
Cast: Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, Jackson Rathbone, Dev Patel
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Summary: A live-action film based on the Nickelodeon animated TV series. In a fantastic world where civilisation exists as four great empires, a reluctant young child sets out on a perilous journey to restore balance to a world torn apart by war.
Analysis: Its been quite the decade for M. Night Shyamalan who started it as a household name with labels of a moodern-day Hitchcock thanks to the likes of "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs". Today he's considered more of a one-trick pony and in some cases a punchline due to rampant stories of egomania run wild and a series of much derided onscreen flops like "Lady in the Water" and "The Happening".
Thus 'Airbender' marks a potential return to form for the helmer. An adaptation of his hit cartoon series »

Wff 09: Review of 44 Inch Chest
7 December 2009 10:33 AM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
Year: 2009
Director: Malcolm Venville
Writers: Louis Mellis & David Scinto
IMDb: link
Trailer: link
Review by: Marina Antunes
Rating: 8 out of 10
It took nearly ten years but the men behind Sexy Beast are back and their follow-up follows in the footsteps of their first film, a macho experience which is bound to leave audiences flabbergasted. If one manages to get over the often mumbled lines and the million miles a minute swearing, viewers are likely to discover a film with something to say but will it alienate a huge chunk the audience before getting there?
A sort of The Big Kahuna for the gangster wannabe, 44 Inch Chest stars Ray Winstone as Colin Diamond, a man who has had a bad day. His wife just broke his heart by leaving him for another man (though not before a confrontation that leaves their home in shambles) and Colin has retreated into himself. He »
Trailer Alert – 44 Inch Chest
3 December 2009 12:30 AM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
Momentum Pictures have sent us the trailer for Ray Winstone’s latest film, the awesome looking 44 Inch Chest, also starring Joanne Whalley, John Hurt, Ian McShane and Stephen Dillane. Directed by Malcolm Venville, 44 Inch Chest is a gangster film with a real difference. This isn’t about drugs, it isn’t about hustling, no, this gangster is going through divorce!
Colin Diamond (Ray Winstone) is in agony, shattered by the bombshell of his wife’s (Joanne Whalley) infidelity with a young French waiter. His motley crew of friends – Old Man Peanut (John Hurt), Meredith (Ian McShane), Archie (Tom Wilkinson), and Mal (Stephen Dillane) – kidnap Loverboy (Melvil Poupaud), and assemble a kangaroo court so that Colin can restore his manhood with revenge. A very bumpy night ensues for Loverboy whose life is at stake as Colin wrestles with heartbreak, anger, madness, love and gargantuan self-pity.
Potent, provocative and outrageously profane, this »

Birthday Suits, Well Directed

Lights. Cameras. Birthday Action (for this, the 30th of November). Only one month left to go and it's 2010. How crazy is that?
Ridley, Terrence (in the 70s) and Marc
1835 Mark Twain's books have been adapted into movies ever since the movies began. Most notably The Prince and the Pauper and any tale of Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer
1920 Virginia Mayo 40s and 50s star, frequent Danny Kaye foil
1926 Richard Crenna, character actor
1927 Robert Guillaume, "Benson"
1929 Dick Clark, seemingly immortal creature who may finally be destroyed by the rise of his spiritual offspring Ryan Seacrest. It's all very Cronos vs. Zeus, only without the thunderbolts
1937 Ridley Scott, manly director whose movies are usually way better when they're shot through with a strong female presence. Consider the three classics: Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, Alien. The rest of the filmography surely has its moments but that's the trinity right there.

New Poster for 44 Inch Chest
27 November 2009 10:37 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Here’s a new poster (click to enlarge) for Ray Winstone’s latest movie, 44 Inch Chest. This movie reunites Winstone with Ian McShane for the first time since Sexy Beast in 2000 which shocked me! I can’t believe that was nearly 10 years ago! 44 Inch Chest also stars Stephen Dillane, John Hurt, Joanne Whalley and Tom Wilkinson.
The poster debuted on Empire yesterday and here’s their plotline:
Empire: Winstone plays Colin Diamond, a cuckolded husband who hatches a plot with his mates to get revenge on his wife’s lover. As we all know, revenge is a dish best served cold, which might go some way to explaining why everyone on this poster looks like they’ve been shoved in a freezer for four hours.
44 Inch Chest is directed by Malcolm Venville and is out 22nd January. »

If there were a prize for most mis-leading title of the decade, 44 Inch Chest would be up there dancing a tango with Cinderella Man for first place.Far from being a Judd Apatow comedy or a follow-up to Boogie Nights, this is the latest venture from the writers behind uber-Brit gangster drama Sexy Beast, reuniting that film’s lead Ray Winstone and Ian McShane while adding in liberal splashes of prime British talent in the form of Stephen Dillane, John Hurt, Joanne Whalley and Tom Wilkinson.Winstone plays Colin Diamond, a cuckolded husband who hatches a plot with his mates to get revenge on his wife’s lover.

Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: September 13, 2009
13 September 2009 12:36 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
It’s Sunday again and that means Wrap Up time.
This week:
Tyler Perry does Bad at the top of the box office; Timothy Dalton plays with Toys; Anton Yelchin gets some Beaver; Max Ryan gets involved in Sex and Eva Green and Ewan McGregor have the Last Word.
Box Office
I Can Do Bad All By Myself topped the box office with $25 million. While it’s not the best gross for a Tyler Perry opening it does show that he has an audience that shows up.
The Tim Burton-produced 9 had a better than expected debut with $15.5 million.
Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds was third with another $6.5 million. With a total gross of $104 million the film has now become Tarantino’s highest grossing film - unadjusted of course.
Sandra Bullock’s All About Steve was fourth with $5.8 million. The film’s cumulative gross currently stands at $21 million.

French actress Eva Green was given quite the shove into stardom when the landed the role as Bond girl Vesper Lynd alongside Daniel Craig's James Bond in 2006's Casino Royale. ScreenDaily reports now Green is starring alongside another top notch British actor in David Mackenzie's tentatively titled new film Last Word, also starring Ewan McGregor. Danish screenwriter Kim Fupz Aakeson wrote the script which tells the story of two people who fall in love as the world around them crumbles. Shooting is currently under way in England already and features a whole slew of other acclaimed international actors rounding out the cast. Ewen Bremmer, who starred with McGregor in 1996's Trainspotting, is also featured along with acclaimed British actor Stephen Dillane (Thomas Jefferson in HBO's John Adams) and Danish actress Connie Nielsen (Gladiator). A very eclectic cast should make this a project to keep an eye on, but »
